Agreed, translating isn't. Reporting news is. Like TBO said, we should point out the playxp writer then am I correct?

It is something I, and many people have done in the past and should NOT be left out on Team Liquid. How hard can it be to make a short post about it? FXO does it, sixjax does it. Actually, EG are the only ones who don't. Saying its obscene to blame EG for not releasing a statement for 20(?!?!) hours and then attacking milkis for not trying to get EG's side of the story when he actually did try to get their side of the story, now that is unacceptable. Long terrible post with little logic. EG didn't release a statement for 20 hours? Actually it was 14 hours, 7 of which a sane human being is asleep for. The next 7 hours would have been more improper considering that plans were set to appear on a more public platform AKA WoC. Want another sports example? Why would EG have felt the need to comment on a playxp article that clearly had a few errors, especially on a player that is still in free agent state, that still is not a member of their organization. Do the Yankees officials ever comment on the player they're about to sign? How about FC Barcelona, or Manchester United? Nobody ever comments on it until the deal is done. Scoots was awake and was tweeting with milkis and could've easily made a post right after the translation was posted. all i can see are terrible excuses for how awfully they handled basically everything regarding this issue.
But does Scoots speak 100% for the organization, or should he wait til Alex can speak as well, or wait til the more public platform exists to speak on, once accepting the public platform. Once again, all for a player that is still technically a free agent and unsigned.
If news about a trade happens in baseball for the SF Giants, and I see Bruce Bochy tweet something, do I feel entitled to an immediate statement from him? Do I feel entitled to an immediate statement from Brian Sabean (the General Manager), or do I wait until the public platform (the press conference) happens in order to hear it then.

Well said TLO. Milkis does so much for this community he shouldn't have been put in the situation to be attacked. I think he presented it fine. Of course you are going to want to hear as much about the story as possible. The addition of the coach Lee part contributed just that. EG could learn a whole lot from FXO.

I'm having trouble finding the bad side of the fruitdealer-ogs issue. I do agree with Zlasher about if a comment like Rekrul's was made first, a good portion of people would have had opposite feelings.

Well it's not about being entitled... it would be in the very own interest of EG to act quicker. They however aren't entitled to not having people write things about them on forums...
and yes if EG wants to blame someone for lack of journalistic style then they should go after PlayXP instead of searching scapegoats. However you should be aware that what PlayXP did might be completely appropriate for a korean news site... so when Alex says that korean teams need to play the western game of contracts he should not chicken out to play the korean game of media.
I'm not exactly sure in which form the playXP site released it but if it was an interview then it is always one-sided and good standard to release... people know that interviews have a certain PoV. Just check up the EG interview with Incontrol where he falsely accuses TB of hilarious things. I am pretty sure they didn't ask TB about that before releasing either.

I agree mostly with what you've said Dario. EG went about this in a very bad way... I find it hard to believe that they didn't expect some sort of backlash.

Actually, EG are the only ones who don't. Saying its obscene to blame EG for not releasing a statement for 20(?!?!) hours and then attacking milkis for not trying to get EG's side of the story when he actually did try to get their side of the story, now that is unacceptable. Long terrible post with little logic. EG didn't release a statement for 20 hours? Actually it was 14 hours, 7 of which a sane human being is asleep for. The next 7 hours would have been more improper considering that plans were set to appear on a more public platform AKA WoC. Want another sports example? Why would EG have felt the need to comment on a playxp article that clearly had a few errors, especially on a player that is still in free agent state, that still is not a member of their organization. Do the Yankees officials ever comment on the player they're about to sign? How about FC Barcelona, or Manchester United? Nobody ever comments on it until the deal is done. Scoots was awake and was tweeting with milkis and could've easily made a post right after the translation was posted. all i can see are terrible excuses for how awfully they handled basically everything regarding this issue.
Pretty much this, sums it up well. I kinda find it ironic that this shitstorm started with people having a problem with EG's ethics and integrity when approaching Puma, and it's now come full circle to EG attacking the integrity of Milkis who had the gall to translate an article. It's ridiculous. Qutie frankly EG management can get fucked as far as I'm concerned.

Gotta love it, completely agree. I don't think Dario could be rude if he tried. LoL TLO is BM on ladder xD heresay.
No, it's true he does. But it's the least sincere BM in the world. And only in team games that I've seen. He'll follow it up with some ":D :D"s unless it's in response to someone particularly being an ass.

We can only talk about the facts.
I don't really care that they do business dirty,
I really care that it took them forever to answer,

Not attacking Milkis, I was attacking bad journalism, something that I explained has a "fix", in that post. But I suppose you didn't read it.

Scoots was awake and was tweeting with milkis and could've easily made a post right after the translation was posted. all i can see are terrible excuses for how awfully they handled basically everything regarding this issue. But does Scoots speak 100% for the organization, or should he wait til Alex can speak as well, or wait til the more public platform exists to speak on, once accepting the public platform. Once again, all for a player that is still technically a free agent and unsigned. If news about a trade happens in baseball for the SF Giants, and I see Bruce Bochy tweet something, do I feel entitled to an immediate statement from him? Do I feel entitled to an immediate statement from Brian Sabean (the General Manager), or do I wait until the public platform (the press conference) happens in order to hear it then.
But everything you say is completely missing the point. I don't know why you talk about journalism or about "EG was asleep". Ok, EG was sleeping, it's not a problem, they do what they want to do. But then blaming other people for...what ? A translated article ?
What you're saying would make sense in a totally different context, but misses the point in this context. It's like you're an EG employee trying to derail the thread so people talk about random stuff.
